Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Longdi Cave.

"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"

Hashirama shouted, and all the natural energy of Ryuchi Cave gathered on his body.

With a deafening roar, countless powerful wooden pillars burst forth from the earth, instantly coalescing into a colossal wooden Buddha—the Thousand-Hand Guanyin.

The Buddha's body is formed from a thousand-year-old tree, with textures resembling the rock strata of a sacred mountain, solemn and majestic, far surpassing the peaks of the mountains.

Liao Wu's white phosphorus Susanoo, enhanced by celestial magic, was as insignificant as an ant before the Thousand-Armed Kannon.

Princess Ichikishima was so shocked she spat out, "Hashirama Senju! This is the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju? He's not even human!"

Liao Wu laughed, "Alright, alright, old man Hashirama, you're playing games like this, huh? Then I'll open mine too!"

Liao Wu retracted his Susanoo, and dropped Tang Guo, Ichikishima-hime, and the others onto the ground.

Sage Art: Susanoo is no match for the Thousand-Armed Buddha.

Liao Wu could only defeat magic with magic, summoning the Ancient Tree of Takigakure to unleash the Thousand-Armed Buddha, and then using the magic of Ryuchi Cave to enhance the Buddha.

Obtain the Thousand-Armed Buddha, which is on par with Hashirama.

Soon, the ancient tree of Takigakure, far away in the Land of Rain, was summoned by Liaowu.

A towering tree rises from the flat ground, standing straight and tall, reaching over three hundred meters high, piercing the sky.

The branches spread outwards in layers, like mountains stretching across the landscape, enclosing a piece of land.

On top of the Thousand-Hand Buddha between the pillars.

Hashirama looked at the giant tree, puzzled, "Where is this tree from? How did it grow so tall?"

Based on the information Orochimaru provided, Tobirama said, "This is a sacred tree that Takigakure has worshipped for hundreds of years. That brat Ryougo is not satisfied with just capturing their tailed beast."

"They even uprooted the trees!"

Tobirama then called out to Hashirama, "Big brother, Ryougo also knows Wood Release. He used this tree to transform into the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara."

"Although it wasn't the authentic Thousand-Armed Kannon, it easily destroyed Takigakure Village."

"Now that he has mastered the immortal arts of Ryuchi Cave, he is capable of summoning a Thousand-Armed Guanyin of equal power to his elder brother!"

"Big brother, stop standing there! Quickly unleash the 'Transformation of the Buddha on Top' attack him!"

Hashirama crossed his arms, amusement on his face. "If someone can unleash the same Thousand-Armed Guanyin as me, then I must see it!"

"Big brother—"

Tobirama was frantic. Why didn't Hashirama keep the bigger picture in mind?

Liaowu's side.

The ancient tree of Takigaku is so tall that it is less than half the height of the Thousand-Hand Buddha.

It's easy to imagine how excessive the Thousand-Hand Buddha statue was.

In the original story, the Thousand-Armed Buddha could capture the fully-formed Nine-Tails with just one hand.

Liao Wu stood atop the ancient tree of Takigakure, where he, Shukaku, and Nanami simultaneously absorbed the natural energy of Ryuchi Cave.

Natural energy from the earth flows in continuously.

Liaowu gathers natural energy equivalent to that between the pillars.

"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"

The earth trembled once more, shaking the mountains and rivers, and another mythical behemoth, a thousand meters tall, rose from the earth.

Thousand-Hand Guanyin—no, the Liaowu Thousand-Hand Guanyin is different from the one in the main story.

Liao Wu used the immortal techniques of Longdi Cave to enhance the True Thousand Hands, so his Thousand Hands Buddha has strong snake-like characteristics of Longdi Cave.

The main body is a large Buddha statue, equivalent to the large Buddha statue between the pillars, but with the guardian deities behind it.

The pillars are filled with a thousand hands, while the fire is filled with ten thousand snakes.

The Buddha has a seven-headed serpent that wraps around it seven times as a seat, with its seven heads spread out like a canopy covering the Buddha's body.

The seven-headed serpent is the seven-headed Naga, which is seven cobras.

The central head is the largest, with the remaining six heads arranged symmetrically, each with a towering crown and bright golden eyes.

Then, rows of wooden snakes, like a thousand hands, lined up on both sides, their heads enormous, resembling the thousand hands of the Thousand-Hand Guanyin.

Sage Art: Wood Release: Mujirinda Nyorai!

Legend has it that after attaining enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, the Buddha went to meditate by the Dragon Pool, where a violent storm raged for seven days and seven nights.

Thunder and lightning raged, plunging the world into darkness.

The dragon king Muzhilinduo emerged from the bottom of the pond and saw the Buddha standing still, compassionate and serene. He felt reverence and faith, and used his giant snake body to circle the Buddha seven times, coiling it into a seat for the Buddha.

At the same time, it transformed into seven-headed Nagas, covering the Buddha's head, sheltering him from wind and rain, isolating him from disturbances, and protecting the Buddha as he remained in meditation.

Only after the rain stopped and the wind and waves subsided for seven days did they pay homage at the Buddha's feet and return to Dragon Pool.

The Sanskrit name for Mujirinda is "Taisho," which means that the Dragon King heard the Buddha's teachings and was freed from the suffering of being a dragon, so he repaid the kindness by protecting the Dharma.

It is said to be the Dragon King, but it is actually a seven-headed Naga serpent.

Tobirama stared in shock: "The Ancient Buddha Muge? That brat actually summoned something like that?"

"Brother, what did I say? I told you to hurry up and get on top, why didn't you?"

"I should have let Orochimaru control you properly!"

Hashirama punched Tobirama, sending him flying, and then gave Ryougo a thumbs up.

"Liaowu, I now acknowledge that you are qualified to be my granddaughter's husband!"

"However, you can't do anything to betray Tsunade."

Liao Wu spat out, "Old man Hashirama, what business is it of yours if you're a dead man? You won't let me do it, but I'll do it anyway."

"The day I conquer Konoha, I'll wear the Hokage's robes, stand in the Hokage's office, in front of the photos of all the past Hokage, behind Tsunade, and crush Konoha under my feet!"

Hashirama roared, "You brat, you have absolutely no manners!"

"Take this! A Buddha image appears on your head!"

The Thousand-Handed Buddha rushed towards Liao Wu's Muzhi Ancient Buddha.

Behind it, thousands upon thousands of giant arms spread out in a fan shape, blotting out the sky and the sun. Each arm is as thick as a giant tree, its power overwhelming mountains and seas.

Liao Wu was not to be outdone, and led the Muzhi Ancient Buddha towards the pillar. The wooden snakes on the Buddha's body flicked their tongues, ready to clash with the Thousand-Hand Buddha at any moment.

In the distance, Yamato emerged from the ground, heading to pay homage to the two former Hokage of Konoha.

But as soon as they emerged, they saw two colossal Buddhas of immeasurable size waging a mythical war.

Yamato's pupils suddenly contracted to their maximum size; everything before him completely overturned his previous understanding.

This is beyond the ninjas' understanding of war; it is a mythical war.

Yamato's mind went blank; he stood frozen in place, completely terrified.

Tobirama activated Flying Thunder God Technique, rushed down, grabbed him, and escaped.

"Hey kid, what are you standing there for? Get back here and run with me!"

The Thousand-Hand Guanyin and the Muzhi Ancient Buddha clashed, causing the earth to tremble violently, as if the entire Ryuchi Cave was trembling with fear.

The world suddenly lost its color, and the wind and clouds swirled upside down.
